Shelf-life failure & recall

Traced a shelf-life failure to grease chemically degrading plastic parts, drove a full recall, and validated a replacement before the next model shipped.

  • Root cause analysis
  • Materials
  • Recall

Units were failing on the shelf. I traced the failure to a grease that was chemically degrading plastic components.

I drove a full recall, then tested and validated a non-reactive grease so the next model shipped without the problem.
